FSUCares 5K A SUCCESS AGAIN THIS YEAR
	The FSUCares third-annual 5K Run/Walk and 1 Mile Fun Run turned out more than 185 runners to raise about $10,000 for local and international outreach. In the spring of 2005, members of FSUCares and College of Medicine faculty will set out on medical mission trips to Panama, Mexico, and Immokalee, Fla. These trips serve to educate medical students about health issues in underserved populations. In addition to using clinical skills learned during the academic year, students gain an understanding of cultural and societal issues in medicine.

PLAY GOLF AND HELP FUND A SCHOLARSHIP FOR A SSTRIDE STUDENT!
	The Emergency Medicine Student Association will be holding a golf tournament at Southwood Golf Club March 7 to raise funds to sponsor a scholarship for a SSTRIDE student to attend FSU to pursue a pre-med or pre-health undergraduate education. Contact Josef Plum at josef.plum@med.fsu.edu for more information.
